What to get for sports and running ?
I finally got the CX680i. I ran with them on yesterday. They are well in place and the sound quality is ok, but I wasn't overwhelmed at all. Only thing is, they're my first IEM pair and I find it too isolating at the moment. I'd rather have something a bit more "open to the outer world"...- bbross

What to get for sports and running ?
Oh yeah, I forgot to mention that important criterion. Budget-wise I don't want to put too much restriction. I'd say anything below 100 EUR will do. Is that way too much or way insufficient ? I have absolutely no idea. Hence this thread. Thanks !- bbross

Hello guys, I am once again calling upon your knowledge. I am looking forward to buying a new pair of headphones / earphones for when I'm running outside. I currently have the basic Apple earphones that come with each iPod / iPhone. So I guess about any new ones will basically be an...- bbross

New audio setup for new rig : noob need help !
I'll write those voodoo numbers down. I'll come back to them when I am an audiophile initiate I'll start with the default soundcard. I think I have just decided to go for Essence ST + DT770 / 600 (need closed cans). What do you guys think ?- bbross

Quote: I'm thinking of starting my journey with the built-in amp of the Essence ST sound card, which seems to be on par with Fiio's E9 if I understand their respective specs correctly (eg: both power output of 80mV @ 600 ohms). Is it going to be enough ?- bbross

Is it correct to say that I should favor the 600 ohm version of the premium serie, as it is presumably the highest quality of the different flavors 32 / 250 / 600 ? Or should I go with the DT770 Pro 80 / 250 version, with / without limiter, with / without headtracking ? What are...- bbross

Quote: Are "fine" headphones worth 250 EUR ? Are they the best closed headphones in this price range ? Are they comfy enough for long gaming sessions (several hours at once ?) or do they cause a lot of fatigue ? Thanks for your time and help !- bbross
